    I have two questions;

    Custom Forms
    I would like to add a few custom forms to the guestbook, instead of having City and such I would like to add for example Rank, Spoken Languages and such.

    Embed Reply Form
    I would like to display the actual reply form on a separate page to where the guestbook listing is.

    Restrict Posting
    Is it possible to only allowed guestbook submissions from logged in users.

    Hi, thanks for your comment.

    Custom Forms
    Currently it’s not possible to have custom fields added. The plugin isn’t built for this in a flexible way, so I am not sure if it will ever happen.

    Embed Reply Form
    Hmm, interesting question :). It’s not really built in as an option, but you could just add a second page with the same shortcode. Then use CSS to display the entry-list on the first page, and the form on the second page.
    You can get some CSS ideas from here:

    That is a good idea, I will make it an option. Just be patient, it will come soon :).
    With this, the first item would be possible as well, because you have a user associated with the entry. And you can use user_meta fields with plugins like Pie Register, Simplr Registration or WP Members.
    I am also planning on an API, where you can filter each entry. So then you could add your user_meta fields to each entry. But please be patient. A lot has happened, and there is still more to come.

    Ok, no problem.

    You might be better of with one of these 3 plugins I mentioned for usermeta fields.
    And use or build a comment system that uses standard WP comments.
